    <div class="description">
        <div class="ng-directive-page ng-directive-a-page"><p>Modifies the default behavior of html A tag, so that the
            default action is prevented when href
            attribute is empty.</p>

            <p>The reasoning for this change is to allow easy creation of action links with <code>ngClick</code>
                directive
                without changing the location or causing page reloads, e.g.:
                <code>&lt;a href="" ng-click="model.$save()"&gt;Save&lt;/a&gt;</code></p></div>
